“ Content with food that the sheep or cow reject, and capable of 
thriving on land, and in situations not adapted to other stock, the 
Angora may be considered an interesting, as well as a valuable addition 
to every farm ; and when the common goat can be replaced by a 
variety possessing not only all their own ordinary qualities in a 
superior degree, but also producing so desirable a material for 
manufacture, lauded proprietors may be induced to consider the 
propriety of acquiring them for their own merits, as well as for crossing 
the whole of their at present comparatively useless breed with the 
pure Angora races; and hereafter the wool of the goats of Australasia 
may, if their improvement be pursued with any portion of the zeal and 
perseverence with which they have ameliorated and .advanced the worth 
of their flocks, become an additional and remunerating export, that 
will annually increase in quantity and value, the benefit of which is 
open to the participation of every agriculturist in the settlements. 
“ Such an expectation may on its first view appear sanguine ; but 
if the position bo correct, that the progressive prosperity of these 
colonies maiidy depends on the quantity of exports they can pro¬ 
duce aud obtain, as means of remittance to Europe ;_then any 
reasonable attempts to augment the source of their attainment 
however humble in commencement, will not be thought unworthy 
experiment how far their anticipated advantage can be realized • 
and when it is contemplated what were the small number of sheep’ 
and how extreme was their inferiority until gradually improved by 
judicious crossings, from which originated the vast flocks that now 
cover the pastures, aud contribute to the revenues of the owners_ 
it will probably not be considered too assuming, to here express a 
hope that the introduction of the animals which have caused the 
present remarks, may in some minor proportion, ultimately contribute 
to the united interests of New South Wales and Van Diemen’s 
Land.’’ 
As a proof of the wool produced by the pure Angora, he would just 
read the following paragraph taken from the “ Edinburgh Encyclo¬ 
pedia.” 
“ The climate of Angora is dry and salubrious. It is celebrated 
for a particular breed of goats, from whose fine hair the Angora 
stuffs are manufactured. These goats exist only in a space of about 
thirty miles round Angora. Their hair, which is about eight or 
nine inches long, is formed naturally into tresses, aud is as fine as
